Renaissance Feminized Seeds · High-CBD, Sativa-Dominant Hybrid for Relaxation & Focus

Renaissance by French Touch Seeds is a sativa-dominant, high-CBD hybrid that redefines relaxation, offering a clear-headed, calming experience perfect for maintaining your daily flow. This unique strain is the result of crossing the legendary, medicinal Juanita la Lagrimosa with the robust and resilient KC36 from KC Brains, inheriting a fantastic resistance to cooler climates and a cannabinoid profile geared towards wellness.

Ever feel like you need to take the edge off but don't want to be glued to the couch? That's the classic dilemma Renaissance solves. You want the therapeutic benefits of cannabis—the calm, the focus, the gentle body relaxation—but you also have things to do, places to be, and a life to live. Settling for a heavy indica can leave you foggy and unproductive, while a racy sativa might spike your anxiety. Renaissance strikes that perfect, elusive balance, delivering a soft, subtle relaxation that soothes without sedating, allowing you to stay present and engaged.

How to Grow Renaissance Feminized Seeds

Quick Overview: A sativa-dominant, high-CBD photoperiod that thrives with attention. It offers a rewarding challenge for growers who enjoy managing stretch and maximizing light exposure.

• Start Smart: Germinate in a warm, humid environment. For a strong, stress-free start that promotes explosive root development, consider using a premium rooting stimulator.
• Manage the Stretch: This plant has a columnar structure and can stretch significantly. Indoors, control height by flipping to a 12/12 light cycle early or using Low-Stress Training (LST). Outdoors, ensure it has ample vertical space.
• Feed with Care: Renaissance can be sensitive to overfeeding, particularly with Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K). Use a balanced, high-quality base nutrient and introduce bloom boosters cautiously. A simple, reliable three-part fertilizer system can prevent nutrient lockout and keep things simple.
• Optimize Environment: Maintain good airflow to prevent mold, to which it shows good resistance. Keep humidity around 40-50% during late flowering. Support branches late in flower as buds can become heavy.
• Harvest for Effect: Harvest when trichomes are mostly milky for a more energetic effect, or wait for some amber for increased relaxation. A proper dry (18–22°C, 50–60% RH) and cure (2+ weeks) will enhance its sweet, spicy flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Renaissance taste and smell like?

Renaissance offers a super pleasant and tasty smoke. The dominant flavor is a combination of sweet and fruity notes, finishing with a distinct spicy kick that gives it real personality. The aroma during growth is pronounced, so a carbon filter is recommended for discreet indoor cultivation.

Is Renaissance suitable for beginner growers?

Its medium difficulty rating comes from its need for height management and slightly sensitive feeding. While a beginner can succeed, it's best suited for growers with one or two cycles under their belt who are ready to pay closer attention to training and nutrient schedules.

What is the main effect of Renaissance?

The effect is its standout feature: soft, subtle, and comfortably relaxing on a physical level, but remarkably clear-headed. It won't induce couch-lock or mental fog, making it ideal for daytime use when you need to remain functional and focused while alleviating tension.

Can I grow Renaissance outdoors in cooler climates?

Yes, absolutely. Thanks to its KC36 heritage, Renaissance inherits excellent resistance to colder temperatures. It's a great choice for growers in temperate or continental climates where autumns can be chilly, as it can handle those conditions better than many pure tropical sativas.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

Renaissance is a grower's plant, not a set-and-forget one, and that's what I love about it. My biggest lesson was managing its stretch. I made the mistake once of letting it veg too long indoors—it nearly kissed the lights! Now, I flip to 12/12 much earlier or employ some gentle LST to keep it bushy. The feeding tip is crucial: go light on the PK boosters. I once pushed a heavy bloom nutrient and saw slight tip burn; it prefers a steady, balanced diet. The payoff, though, is incredible. The high-CBD effect is so unique—it's like a warm, calming blanket that doesn't weigh you down. I love it for a late afternoon session when I need to unwind but still have work or family time ahead. The spicy-fruity flavor after a proper cure is a real connoisseur's treat. It's a strain that rewards attention with both quality and quantity.
